📝 Ingredients:
(Serves 6)
- 🍓 600 g mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc.)
- 🍫 200 g dark chocolate
- 🍫 100 g milk chocolate
- 🎈 6 small balloons
- 🧴 Sunflower oil
- 🍶 Whipped cream (ready-to-use)
📋 Directions:
- 🍫 Prepare the Dark Chocolate:
- Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler (bain-marie). Stir until smooth.
- 🎈 Prepare the Balloons:
- Inflate the balloons slightly (do not overinflate) to form the molds for the bowls. Lightly coat each balloon with a thin layer of sunflower oil using a brush.
- ❄️ Coat with Chocolate:
- Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly (this is important to avoid bursting the balloons).
- Dip each balloon into the melted dark chocolate to coat the bottom and sides, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let cool and set in the refrigerator if needed.
- 🍫 Add Milk Chocolate Decoration:
- Melt the milk chocolate in a separate bowl over a double boiler.
- Using a spoon, drizzle the milk chocolate over the coated balloons to create an additional decorative layer. Let the chocolate set completely in the refrigerator.
- 🎈 Remove the Balloons:
- Once the chocolate has hardened, carefully pierce each balloon to deflate it and remove it from the chocolate bowl.
- If desired, lightly break the edges of the bowls to create a jagged, decorative appearance.
- 🍓 Prepare the Fruit:
- Wash, dry, and hull the mixed berries.
- 🍫 Assemble and Serve:
- Place the chocolate bowls on serving plates. Fill each bowl with the fresh mixed berries.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream on top and serve immediately.
